Separating Notions of Graph Width: the Adaptive, Normal, Linear, Entropic, and Submodular Width
Abstract
We describe one explicit simple graph G on 32 vertices whose adaptive, normal, linear, entropic, and submodular widths are pairwise distinct. We compute all these widths exactly, except for the entropic width, where we only give a lower and upper bound. We use Ingleton's inequality and the Zhang-Yeung inequality for upper bounds, and give explicit constructions of modular, normal, linear, entropic, and non-entropic polymatroids for lower bounds.
